In the 24th century, the most popular thing in the world is undoubtedly robot fighting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 21st century is called the Age of Information, the 22nd Century is known as the Age of War, the 23rd Century is known as the Age of Space, and the 24th Century, like the Cycle of Machines.

After experiencing the trauma of the era of war and the fruitless exploration of the universe era, human civilization once again ignited its love for machinery, and the mechanical civilization of mankind has once again advanced by leaps and bounds with the development of the first two eras, and the best way to witness all this is - robot fighting.

From the original "physical game console" to the "national sport", robot fighters and their closest companions, the mechanic, have now topped the list of "most admirable professions", and robot fighting has pushed the limits of entertainment to become the best platform for modern humans to show their talents.

Of course, robots are everywhere on the streets, and they don't just stand behind their brawler owners like bodyguards, but there are also many robots that are used for other purposes, working hard in all corners of the world instead of humans.

Some experts said that the reason why humans fall in love with robot fighting may have a lot to do with the fact that robots "helped them earn enough money and robbed them of a lot of jobs".

……

As the air rails traveled through the city, Edward, who was drunk for the first time, opened his sleepy eyes and saw his school, the North American Public Mechanical University, sleeping in the sunlight through the glass window.

Edward had just returned from his mother's funeral, saying it was a funeral, but he was the only one in New York City, and the pastor who presided over the funeral told him not to be upset about it, and Ethel's parishioners in Ohio held a memorial service for her at the same time, and Ethel must have been relieved by this.

Edward nodded yes with a blank face, but his heart was burning with the secret that Ethel had told him.

His father is Adolph Jones, the Red Emperor who is known as "the strongest robot fighter in history". But as his lover, Ethel Arthur lived incognito in that poor township, and was thought by the parishioners to be a woman who had reformed after a young dissolute life...... Because they were never married.

It's not fair, forget it yourself, why did Ethel suffer this sin for no reason? Discriminated against by others, and filled with guilt that she shouldn't have been, she never left the town since she moved there, and her heart failure was never treated in the best way, and she finally left this world at this age.

And the man...... But enjoying the praise of the whole world, retiring with everything he has, and then living in seclusion?

Whatever the reason in the first place, the man was retired and out of the public eye...... Why not come to her? Did he know how much Ethel loved him, and even at the last moment of his life, he kept saying that he believed him?

No matter how much Ethel believed in the man, Edward hated him.

Edward must do something for his mother. He must let the man who is high up give her an explanation in person.

Edward ordered a sobering tea on the empty tracks and got off the train quietly and silently.

Like the Dranda Hospital, the campus of the University is converted from a floating fortress, which is the case with most of the important buildings in New York City, and most of the buildings on the ground are residential buildings that do not have many important functions. Of course, the scale of the two complexes is completely different, and the Dranda Hospital is enough to serve as a ship-borne fortress on the campus of Beijing University of Technology.

Edward took a deep breath and walked into his university's campus with a slight frown.

Unlike the Dranda Hospital, the campus of Beijing Gong University is not arranged according to the strict cabins of the original floating fortress, but has undergone a series of naturalization rectifications, so there are many street scenes inside Beijing Gong University.

There are also floors, each of which has its own street, and even a small air rail on campus. The building was once spliced together by countless cabins, but Beigong Dali also has its own natural ecosystem, which is really not much different from the ground outside here, including the simulated sun in the sky - it has a natural sunlight refraction system.

"Hi Arthur, condolences change."

"Thanks, Senior Timo."

Greeting people he knew along the way, Edward gradually regained some of the feeling of campus life, and then he remembered the mess he had left him before, and turned on the smart watch with some annoyance, and a bunch of messages immediately popped up.

Because he got off the bus on the third floor of the mechanical department, Edward only had to take the school's trackless car (a single-person fully automatic floating navigation car), and he chose his destination and looked at the information one by one.

It's a bunch of them, but in fact there are only a dozen, most of them are polite comforts, from a few acquaintances who have a little more intersection with him, and Teacher Dinah also apologizes to him from the bottom of her heart because of Ethel's matter, and tells him that his homework can be delivered a week late.

Suddenly, a piercing blood-red message jumped into Edward's eyes, and when he clicked on it, it was a video.

"We're sorry about your mother. But, Arthur, because your goods didn't arrive on time, a few of us are in a lot of trouble. ”

Across the camera, a fat man with a meaty face is smiling maliciously and saying, "We'll talk to you when you come back." Maybe you should have some cash ready to cover our losses this time. ”

Luoshan. A cold light flashed in Edward's eyes, and now Edward was angry about his "biological father", and the appearance of these people at this time gave him a new idea.

My previous lifestyle was wrong.

Edward Arthur used to be kind and introverted, but these two words were added to him, but they became cowardice. This may also be the inheritance of Ethel's personality, Ethel has always been strong in the face of difficulties in her life, but never resisted, and Edward in the past was the same.

Previously, because of Ethel's illness, Edward had to find ways to make extra money, and as a mechanical student, Edward's best way to earn money was to make mechanical structures.

By the way, robot fighting requires a lot of mechanical equipment, from body tissues to weapons and equipment, the robot fighting arena is like a grinding disc, scrapping countless machinery, and the mechanic is the existence of a steady stream of raw materials for this grinding disc. (Of course, not everyone can become a combat mechanic, and those with mediocre qualifications can only devote themselves to the construction of everyday machines)

Mechanics are lucrative, but need pathways.

In the Ohio township, Edward's machinery was already famous, but in New York, he didn't have a suitable sales channel and didn't have enough machinery.

It was at that time that Luo Shan and the others came to the door, they were Edward's seniors, buying machinery for the rich second generation in the school who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and used their rogue qualities to buy at a low price and sell at a high price.

For Ethel's medical expenses, and under the coercion of Luoshan and others, in just two months, Edward had already provided them with more than a dozen pieces of mechanical construction, so that he didn't have time to do his monthly construction work.

If it was Edward in the past, he would indeed swallow his anger in order to avoid trouble, but now...... Edward wanted to rebel.

Rebel against his fate, rebel against the injustices of his fate, and seek justice for Ethel's life...... He is the man who wants to take revenge on the strongest robot fighter, Adolph Jones.

Perhaps, the current self, needs some courage. No, I can't continue to swallow my anger.

"Teacher Dinah, thank you for your concern, my homework has been completed, but I didn't have time to turn it in before, now that I have returned to school, I will deliver it to you as soon as possible."

After sending the message, Edward got out of the trolleybus and walked towards the dormitory, and he was greeted by Luo Shan, who was smiling evilly, and his two tall and burly thugs in the martial arts department.

Adolph Jones, since I have your blood in my veins...... Presumably, I won't be a combat waste! Edward clenched his fists.

"Hey, Boy Arthur, are you ready to pay us compensation?"

"Of course...... No. ”

"Oh? Even if your mother died, you would have saved money for her treatment, right? The fleshy face twitched, and a pair of small mung bean-sized eyes flashed with a disgusting smile, "I advise you to hand over the money as soon as possible to compensate for our losses, otherwise...... Hey hey ......"

Edward's gaze swept over the smiles of the thugs behind Luo Shan, and finally landed on Luo Shan's evil face.

"Really?" Smiling at the big underwhelming face, Edward raised his trembling right hand and used all his strength to deliver the hardest first punch of his life.

……

……

An infirmary at the Faculty of Medicine of Peking Gong University.

"Ah...... Tap it. Edward habitually let out a wail of pain.

"Now you know it hurts?" Nurse Trainee Anne rubbed the artificial cotton ball on Edward's face a few times, "I really don't know what you think, a mechanical matchstick actually fights with a fighting hardboard brick, really when they don't exercise?" ”

In other words, shouldn't you fight them? Edward fell silent suddenly, swallowing the cry of pain into his stomach.

No, this was just the first step, thinking back to the swollen pig-headed face of Luoshan, Edward couldn't help but smile a little, and gritted his teeth again.

Yes, I should fight them, I must not let people be bullied again, I must not be like Issel, I must hold all the pain in my heart - I must not only fight, but also win!

Edward decided that he would change his department in a year's time - from the mechanical department...... Go to the fighting department!

Not only that, but Edward also wants to become the best robot fighter and get a chance to meet the Red Emperor Adolph Jones, who is a recluse, in the name of Rookie of the Year!

This is the best way to find the recluse, and he wants to ask the man himself why he did this to his mother!

Why can a guy who has been beaten like this still laugh? Anne noticed Edward's smile, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable that this mechanical matchstick ...... Seems a little handsome?

Edward, on the other hand, turned his gaze to the campus announcement channel on the infirmary's projection screen, where an advertisement was playing.

With a hint of steampunk-inspired special effects, the camera slowly walks through the warehouse of the robot fighter, and the mecha is ready to go, and countless pieces of mechanical structures are neatly arranged, and the mechanical arms slash across the screen, writing lines of English with the blood-boiling mechanical sound......

Is the Campus Robot Fighting Competition......

"Bandaged." Anne gently patted the bandage on Edward's forehead, pulling the latter's thoughts back to reality, "It's better to remove the bandage tomorrow, so that the swelling will be completely reduced." ”

"Don't shoot......" Edward replied shyly, covering his wounds, "thank you." ”

"The duty," said Anne with a smile, "is not welcome. ”

Looking at Anne's smile, Edward was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly sadly realized that he had finally spoken to the girl...... Case......

Edward held out his hand to Anne and said, "Are you the medical attendant in this area?" I'm Edward Arthur, from the Department of Mechanics, and I'm ...... It's probably going to be a lot of trouble for you. ”

"Does the mechanical wood get hurt too often?" Anne chuckled and shook Edward's hand and said, "The first-year medical student, Anne, only occasionally comes here to help. ”

WTF, Girl's Hand ...... It's so soft......
